Match Report City keep up pressure in title race after Brentford win After his spectacular brace to salvage a 3-3 draw against Everton last Monday, Doku was the hero again, curling into the top right corner on the hour mark to break Brentford’s defensive resolve.
Erling Haaland had come close in the first-half on multiple occasions, but saw a header sail wide and another strike blocked well by Bees’ goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. Shortly after the opener, Doku looked to double his and our tally, shifting the ball onto his left foot but curling just wide. With 15 minutes left to play, we did get the second goal that our play deserved as Antoine Semenyo’s cross from the right flank wreaked havoc in the Brentford six-yard box, resulting in Haaland experly flicking into the net.
Our talisman then turned provider, setting up Omar Marmoush to coolly add a third goal deep into stoppage time. The victory takes us two points behind league-leaders Arsenal who play on Sunday afternoon away to West Ham, meaning we still retain our one game in hand over the Gunners.
